Mastering the Terminal Window

Kali Linux can be summarized in two simple words: terminal window. Kali Linux is a Debian‐based operating system developed by Offensive Security, so if penetration testers are used to Ubuntu, for example, the commands in the terminal window will look the same since Debian and Kali share an equal distribution. There are lots of common commands that we use as penetration testers on a daily basis. Tmux is a particular terminal window that allows penetration testers to manage multiple windows in their current terminal session. The chapter provides list of commands for managing users and groups. It also provides guidelines to use the files and directories on Kali like the pros. For the permissions, the same principle applies to a file or a directory.
